Chelmsford to Raze Two Old Firehouses for New Fire Stations

CHELMSFORD — Two of Chelmsford's aging firehouses are set to be demolished to make room for new fire stations, with construction on both replacement projects moving forward at the same time, according to a report picked up this week.

A report circulating this week said Chelmsford plans to raze two of its older firehouses so that new stations can be built in their place, with the two construction projects proceeding simultaneously rather than one after another. The report, from Firehouse Magazine, a national trade publication that covers the fire service industry, did not include a start date, total project cost, or the exact locations of the stations undergoing rebuild.

The dual station rebuild marks one of the more significant public-safety infrastructure efforts underway in town this summer, folding two separate replacement projects into a single coordinated build-out.
